CNL Software, the Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) system software specialist, has announced the release of IPSecurityCenter V5.7. This latest release includes many feature enhancements that increase performance and reduce operational response times in large-scale, multi-sited and mission-critical deployments of IPSecurityCenter and will benefit those in the transportation, corporate security and public safety markets.

According to CNL, IPSecurityCenter leads the Global Security Operations Centre (GSOC) market for PSIM. This latest release improves CNL Software’s ability to manage across multiple Security Operations Centres (SOCs) and GSOCs, keeping the entire operation in harmony using enterprise wide visualisation to support the overall security mission for critical infrastructure and large-scale Government security programmes.

“We continue to invest heavily in developing the features that customers, partners and industry leaders inspire us to create,” commented Simon Knightley, CTO at CNL Software. “We listen to our customers and understand what’s important to them. Their ideas help us to innovate new ways in which to support them in making the GSOC a faster and more effective hub for all mission-critical security and life safety-related activity. They want their Control Rooms to see more, act faster and collaborate better throughout the whole organisation, which we help them to achieve using IPSecurityCenter V5.7.”

CNL states that the V5.7 release differentiates CNL Software from other PSIM vendors and establishes IPSecurityCenter as the first choice PSIM solution for large-scale Government security programmes, critical infrastructure and facilities protection.

Some of the main enhancements within the new release include:

*More scalable for larger deployments: Enhancements support greater control over large-scale federated solutions, driving tightly managed GSOC operations
*Faster and more responsive: Improvements include faster access to historic alarm data with fewer clicks and rapid access to video from remote locations
*Support for 64-bit video: This ensures IPSecurityCenter leverages the latest developments in video technology and multi-thread processing for faster and more scalable solutions
*General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)-ready security platform: Enhancements ensure that IPSecurityCenter is ready for the most demanding compliance processes, with security features such as two-factor authentication included such that there are no unauthorised changes to the system
*Improved decision support: Developments include new interactive dashboards that allow operators to access key performance indicators in real-time using a customisable device that can highlight alarm, human and machine data alike

Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) specialist CNL Software* will be presenting its IPSecurityCenter PSIM solution at the biennial International Security National Resilience Exhibition & Conference** (ISNR) in Abu Dhabi. The news comes at a time when the business is increasing its commitment to the Middle East region with the addition of senior operations, technical and development staff.

At the last ISNR show in 2014, CNL Software announced its intentions to open a local office and Centre of Excellence in Abu Dhabi. Two years on and the company now has a fully functioning team in Abu Dhabi offering operations, sales, delivery, support and development capabilities to support its PSIM customers and partners in the Middle East.

“Our IPSecurityCenter PSIM solution has been in great demand in the Middle East, and we’ve secured strategic projects in the GCC region from Safe City developments through to mass transportation, national security and state-of-the-art buildings,” explained Daniel Bloodworth, general manager at CNL Software in the Middle East.

“We’ve increased our staff count in the region by over 300% since our last visit to ISNR, and will continue to strengthen the team over the next 24 months to support our PSIM customers and partners.”

Adlan Hussain, vice-president of marketing at CNL Software, added: “ISNR has established itself as a leading regional show for fire and security professionals. The UAE’s Ministry of the Interior and Reed Exhibitions have done a sterling job in creating a platform designed to engage regional decision makers.”

Hussain also told Risk UK: “Our PSIM technology has become the region’s leading integration and management product for mission-critical environments. ISNR has been part of that journey, allowing us to meet with the right people in order to demonstrate the capabilities of IPSecurityCenter.”
